Look - A Huiker!

Today (Sunday) we left Galway & a large majority of the Irish population at the Volvo Ocean Race. We took the 1:00 ferry to Inis Mor Island, the largest of the three Aran Islands on the west coast of Ireland. Pardon the delay for updated posts, but the Internet hasn't yet made it to Inis Mor (as far as we can tell)!

Our 30-minute ferry ride was fairly booked up (with the rest of the Irish population), it being a Sunday afternoon of extraordinary Irish weather (The last few days have been actually quite sunny & warm, of course, Bill and I packed for foggy, rainy Irish weather. Oh well.), and a 3-day weekend thanks to Monday's “bank holiday”. So Bill and I contented ourself with an no-frills, below-deck window seat.

All that said, Bill did manage to push his way onto the observation deck for a minute, and spotted what we think is an honest-to-goodness hooker! Check it out – hot stuff, right?
